This is solvable by using a more stable email provider, ideally with your own domain. And yes I know domains need to be much easier for the average person to use (and avoid accidentally losing). That's one reason I run a domain registrar, to try and make this more accessible.
Once someone has their own domain, it also opens up things such as hosting your own IdP (or paying a small monthly fee to have someone else host it for you) and sidestepping email entirely.

Sure, but requiring ordinary people to do this is essentially a nonstarter. The whole point of SSO is to minimize user friction. Requiring a user to also set up a special email account with another service is a dramatic increase in friction, and I expect that a large percentage of users simply won't do it. Why would they?
The main problem would be solved by using a Gmail account, right?
